Hello I'm Tristan!

I like to make things with sculpey and paint it. I'm new to miniature painting but enjoying exploring the space with my son.

I also like building gunpla and other model kits, playing board games, video games and hanging out with my rescue dogs and family.

Great vegan options too!

Everything from a store tho... Yuck, what the fuck!

I've never played a real pinball table before. Time to live it up.

There's a local gluten free bakery near me that honestly is extremely tasty. I'm not even gluten free but I'll happily eat their bread.

Found a local pub that's got the goods!

It's win-win for sure but I'm going to make them some custom sculpey stuff to say thanks because this is absurdly generous to the point of making me feel guilty.

Truth.

I follow a lot of trans folk here and I do see those before and after photos. You're so right about the light in their eyes being reignited!

Why anyone has a problem with trans folk is beyond me. I don't relate to the experience fully myself but I'll always speak up for and defend them!

It's so annoying! Like they know it's fake. We know it's fake. Why are we playing this game!

How any one could be expected to be genuinely passionate about 20 different job applications is bonkers. I'm passionate about being able to live, I work hard too but I don't dream of labour actually!

Will do! You love to see someone do what's right for them. They look incredible and I don't think I've ever seen them so genuinely happy before. It's like they're truly ALIVE if that makes any sense.

Seeing my friends thrive like this brings me so much joy.

There's so many goblins in here! Even some of those giant mangler squigs omg I'm in heaven!

Not good enough to notice they were severely depressed pre transition unfortunately 😭 but I'm making up for it now!

Caught up with my friend again today who's recently transitioned (and is absolutely thriving!) and associates bad memories with Warhammer and thus is getting out of the hobby.

They've just given me all this for free. Totally absurd. Incredibly generous. I'm buzzing.

No need to be condescending. I'm talking about the case specifics, which to my untrained eye seem to be entirely about how these minis could be used to play a GW game. Which in an official capacity they aren't and in an unofficial capacity you can use anything to play already.

Tristan is painting slowly @tristanwelsh.bsky.social · 18h

You get it!

Tristan is painting slowly @tristanwelsh.bsky.social · 18h

I hate playing this silly game!

Honestly they're neck and neck for me.

But what about samurai champloo?

Tristan is painting slowly @tristanwelsh.bsky.social · 19h

It's so good! I've been playing it with my son who loves a beat em up and has just gotten into roguelites too. Perfect combo.

You up to Badlaa?

I love X-Files but there are some absolute stinkers in there!

Tristan is painting slowly @tristanwelsh.bsky.social · 1d

Stunning!

The first of my siblings duo of wraith lords is finished! I'll finish the other one later but I should probably do some chores first #nerdlings #aeldari #warhammercommunity #40k #eldar

Gotcha. Still doesn't feel like it would affect GW at all over what exists already. The dudes stuff looks crazy similar a lot of the time and that's not a good look!

Tristan is painting slowly @tristanwelsh.bsky.social · 1d

Oh for sure. But I mean like... You can play with anything if you want. Just doesn't seem like it'd affect them at all. But the dudes stuff is crazy similar to the official stuff, not a great look!

Second crewmember for the earthshakers. I'm relatively happy with how the red screen turned out on this one.
